On July 3 I have the honor of speaking at the Chautauqua Institution’s summer speaker series on the lake in Chautauqua, New York. The event kicks off at 2:30 pm in their Hall of Philosophy.
I’ll be talking about the issues raised in American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good, which was a finalist for the 2017 Chautauqua Prize. The morning session just ahead of me is with Jelani Cobb of the New Yorker, so I’m looking forward to that as well.
For those of you attending Chautauqua this season, I look forward to meeting.
